The site looks very nice to me (a newbie silver surfer) I found my way round very easily (always a plus for me). It is clear about its content.

I cannot comment about the design as I know nowt about designing anything but it looked nice and easy to read.

The site looks very well-designed, a professional layout and the search interface works quite well (I found a couple banner exchanges that I really liked). The forums are drastically different from the rest of the site though, I think you should have still used the blue and grey format from the rest of the site. Looks like your site is off on the right foot!

The template itself looks good. Not too template-y which is the usual problem with these things. The problem is that you can tell by the contents that it's a template because the look and feel isn't quite ine line with the template. The shade of blue for the links, for example, isn't the same as what's used in the overall design. There also has been no attempt to bring in the brownish colour used for the exterior border.

Browsing around - the forum uses very different colours from the template again. The layout of text is generally unsophisticated looking. If you look at a directory listing, for example, everything is stuffed into little boxes, there is clashing red "new site" text, A lot of things are badly spaced and aligned.

The navigation buttons jump around on mouseover in Opera (very strange).
